Few watches carry a story like this one. In 1970, NASA’s astronauts presented OMEGA with the prestigious “Silver Snoopy Award” for the Speedmaster’s role in the safe return of Apollo 13, and this 50th Anniversary tribute turns that history into one of the most beloved Moonwatches ever made.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a sterling-silver Ag925 dial, an embossed Snoopy medallion rests within the running-seconds counter at 9 o’clock beneath “50th Anniversary.” Framed by a blue polished-ceramic bezel with a white-enamel “Dot Over Ninety” tachymeter, the watch is turned over to reveal a domed sapphire NAIAD LOCK caseback where an animated Snoopy orbits the far side of the moon whenever the chronograph is running.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, and chronograph. Driven by the hand-wound Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, the watch is wound and set from the signed crown at 3 o’clock: with the crown pushed fully in, turn it clockwise to wind the mainspring, then pull it out one position to set the time. To run the chronograph, press the upper pusher at 2 o’clock to start and stop the central sweep-seconds; elapsed minutes gather on the counter at 3 o’clock and elapsed hours on the counter at 6 o’clock. Press the lower pusher at 4 o’clock to snap all chronograph hands back to zero. The tachymeter bezel reads average speed over a known distance.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with the OMEGA Master Chronometer certificate card, international warranty card, printed literature including “The Essential Guide,” the illustrated “Eyes on the Stars” Snoopy booklet, and the original hang tag.

A watch that needs no introduction to those who know, and an instant conversation piece for those who don’t. Complete and beautifully presented, this Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary is ready for the next collector who appreciates one of OMEGA’s most celebrated modern releases. Reach out to make it yours.
